Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

3 Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

5 Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

8 Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
